WSJT-X v1.6 released

WSJT-X v1.6 features several new addtions including modes such as WSPR, JT4 (submodes A-G), JT65B and JT65C, and Echo, in addition to the existing JT65A and JT9 modes.

If you install WSJT-X, make sure to also install the optional KVASD module which provides enhanced decoding for weaker signals. The install file is included in the WSJT-X download, but can’t be packaged in the WSJT-X application due to licensing constraints.

John (G4KLA) has written an excellent ReadMe file with complete instructions on how to install and setup WSJT-X on OS X. The ReadMe file is included in the WSJT-X dmg file.

WSTJ-X v1.6 is a free download and is available from the WSJT-X website here.

With the release of v1.6, development is fully underway on WSJT-X v1.7. Version 1.7 will include not only JTMSK and other meteor and ionospheric scatter modes, but it will also include a new enhanced JT65 decoder that is “especially advantageous when used in crowded HF bands.” Furthermore, starting with v1.7, WSJT-X will no longer use the closed-source KVASM algorithm decode module; instead replacing it with an improved open source module.

Today I downloaded the application WSJT-X so I could run it on my iMAC in the Ham-Shack. That computer is running 10. 11.6 El Capitan.

Was just using v1.8 last night fine, today when I go to try and use, WSJT-X tells me it can't connect to radio on my Mac, and when i try to go and make sure all the settings are right & test the CAT connection, the program just crashes. I've tried reinstalling the program, no dice. Switched to my Windows...

Am trying to get FT-8 working via my Kenwood TS-590SG, with a USB connection to my mid-2015 MacBook Pro. I've got WSJTX configured so CAT control works fine and the Test PTT button under the 'Radio' tab in preferences will reliably key the radio (the radio relay audibly trips and the red light on the front panel of the...

I run Fldigi on Linux and Windoz platforms without any problems. I have tried it on my Macbook Pro (vintage 2008) running Mavericks (OSX 10.9.5) and observe that the application crashes very frequently on transmitting. I am using the version 3.23.19 in combinaton with the flrig version 1.3.30. Newer versions do not alleviate the problem....

Is there a Mac USB driver for the 7300? I can not get my rig control working in FLdigi. I have it decoding, but thats it. No transmit, no communication with the rig. In the pull down menus I do not see USB as a way to communicate with the rig for rig control.
Thanks,
Jim...
